If someone is breaking into your home and you call police, hide your drugs

Alumnus arrested on drug charges after reporting second burglary in three days


(GA) A University alumnus was arrested last night after police responded to an attempted burglary at the students’ own home.

Eric Kellough, 23, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, according to an Athens-Clarke County media release.

Kellough was burglarized on Monday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., but called police again on Wednesday when he said he was burglarized again.

According to the report, Kellough had been watching TV alone in his house when he heard a loud noise. When he looked outside he reportedly saw a black male run away from the house and into the passenger seat of a white truck. Kellough gave police the driver’s license plate number.

After arriving at the scene, the police observed that the windows of his car had been broken, but no items had been taken from his car or house. An officer saw “drug paraphernalia” through the windows of his car, according to the report.

Not in a sexual way. but you know...

unfortunately marijuana prohibition makes criminals out of many otherwise law abiding citizens.

Marijuana should be legal in America. No if's and's or buts or butts.

...where you will find that burglarized precedes burgled in the English language by a year (1871 vs. 1872).

You will also find that the definition of burgle is to burglarize, or to break into and steal from.

Don't forget plenty of Advil.
